Though I doubt I will ever be saboteur, as I'm not really much of a fighter." She answers softly and truthfully, not realizing just how hard she has had to fight to keep her life, against all odds she has survived the destruction of her pack. That instinct to hold on and never surrender, is so deeply ingrained into her soul that she can't even see it, attributing to luck and chance that which rightfully belongs to tenacity and boldness of heart. Seeing Ransom's smile then, her own broadens and deepens a bit, and she moves forward to lick him under the chin.Aristotle wrote:"Hope is the

Acknowledging the imminent return of Legacy with another nod, Nada settles back down, resting her head on her paws. Food... That sounds very nice right about now. Oh, it has been so long since I've had a good meal! Stomach grumbling a bit from her thoughts, she notices the change in Ransom's face and her ears perk up as he speaks of the sins. Though she doesn't lift her head, she listens intently to what he says, and curiosity bubbles up inside of her. His story immediately turns her mind to the howl earlier, the beaconing almost irresistible pull in that call was the strangest thing she had ever heard. Even now, the memory of it sends a shiver up her spine. "Sins... You mean like in the old stories? They're actually here?" Nada asks, a bit of disbelief trickling into her voice. Her old pack paid little attention to the legends of the sins, treating them more as parables then actual truth. Even though she has met the wolf Aaroein, who carries the sin of sloth, she had no idea that the wolf was a sin. Perhaps it is part of her nature that she is blind to their presence, immune to at least some of their power.
Ransom listened to Nada, smiling gently. It seemed both the brute shared a sort of gentle nature with his sister. Then again, he could instantly turning into the fierce and overprotective brute that he normally did when his pack or Legacy was threatened. He shrugged lightly when she said she may not move up to the rank of Saboteur. "You never know. There are always other ranks to move up into, besides Saboteur. But, I must say, I think you are a fighter, surviving for so long by yourself. Not many wolves can do that," he told her, laying down across from Nada, becoming comfortable. His shoulder had already begun to ache slightly and knowing Legacy, he knew she would come back and insist that he rest immediately and go back to his den. Though, maybe, just maybe, if she saw him resting, she would leave him be and let him stay outside so he could watch over the comings and goings of his pack.
Hearing that she was already familiar with the tale of the Sins, Ransom's ears perked up, and he looked at her with his golden gaze, tilting his head slightly. "You know of the Sins?" he asked, sounding a bit surprised. "Tell me, what have you been told about them?" he added after a moment, curious as to how much this new female knew.
